Hello,
I am trying to connect to a network with netcfg2 and using static IP but I get the following error:
:: hornet-static up - Adding gateway 130.88.171.250 failed [FAIL]
bash-3.2# No such process
The file is like the ethernet-static sample file, I just changed the values. I didn't change the broadcast one, because I wasn't given one.
Thanks for your help.

Please post the netcfg profile you are using and your rc.conf.

Your netmask and broadcast address are wrong. Better ask your site admin. I mean, you could probably whip out tcpdump or wireshark to get a sense of your local network layout... but that might overdo it.
Edit: Well, ok. Try netmask 255.255.240.0 and broadcast 130.88.175.255 ... never knew there's a whole bunch of these online subnet mask calculators.
